Sandstone Concretion
Septarian or Carbonate-cemented Sandstone Concretion
Boxwork or Septarian Concretion
Septarian nodule / Boxwork weathering
Sea Glass
Silicon dioxide (mostly)
Polished green-and-black banded cabochon (likely malachite imitation or dyed agate)
Uncertain; possible malachite (Cu₂CO₃(OH)₂), banded agate (SiO₂), or man-made glass
Sandstone (with man-made markings)
Arenite (composed primarily of Quartz, SiO2)
Asphalt (Bituminous Pavement)
Bituminous mix (Aggregates with Bitumen binder)
Sandstone (with concrete/human-made layer)
Clastic Sedimentary Rock (primarily Quartz/Feldspar grains)
Slag
Metallurgical by-product
Faceted glass-like gemstone object
Likely synthetic glass or cubic zirconia; exact material cannot be confirmed from the image
Decorative mosaic cross containing mixed rock and glass fragments
Polychrome aggregate; likely quartz, feldspar, marble, granite, and assorted colored glass
Slag Glass (Cullet)
Amorphous Silica (man-made), primarily SiO2 with trace metal oxides
Pet Rock (Man-made Quartzite or Granite Cobble)
Silicon dioxide (SiO2) mixture; commonly composed of Quartz, Feldspar, and Mica
Quartz pebble (Quartztite fragment)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Weathered iron-rich concretion or ironstone nodule
Goethite–hematite limonite concretion (FeO(OH), Fe₂O₃, and hydrated iron oxides)
Sandstone (with Liesegang rings or joints)
Clastic Sedimentary Rock (primarily Quartz with Iron Oxide cement)
Synthetic Marbled Aggregate (Footwear Component)
Ethylene-vinyl acetate (Croslite™)
Stainless Steel (Polished)
Ferrous Alloy containing Iron (Fe), Chromium (Cr), and Carbon (C)
Asphalt Chunk (Bituminous Concrete)
Aggregated Bitumen / Artificial Breccia
Clear quartz sphere
Quartz (silicon dioxide, SiO₂)
Man-made Crystal (Lead Glass)
Lead oxide-doped Silica Glass (approx. SiO2 + PbO)
Goldstone (Red/Brown)
Aventurine Glass (SiO2 with Copper inclusions)
Loose faceted colorless gemstones, likely quartz or glass-like mineral chips
Most consistent with quartz (SiO₂), though the photograph cannot exclude synthetic cubic zirconia or glass
Cobalt Blue Glass / Cullet Glass
Silicon dioxide (Amorphous man-made glass)
Chert Concretion
Chert (Microcrystalline Quartz, SiO2)
Asphalt (Bituminous pavement)
Bituminous concrete / Asphalt
Clear-stone silver-tone teardrop earring
The stones may be colorless quartz or glass; the image does not allow reliable identification. Metal setting appears silver-tone.
Conglomerate
Conglomerate Rock (Paraconglomerate)
Tumbled milky quartz pebble
Quartz (silicon dioxide, SiO₂)
Slag
Metallurgical Slag
Asphalt (Road Aggregate)
Bituminous Conglomerate / Asphalt Concrete
Pyrite in Quartz (Drill Core)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with Iron Sulfide (FeS2) inclusions
Sandstone Anvil / Nutting Stone
Quartzose Sandstone (Sedimentary Rock)
Tumbled clear quartz (rock crystal)
Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂)
Concrete
Anthropogenic Sedimentary Rock (Hydrated Calcium Silicate)
Red cabochon gemstone ring (likely ruby or red spinel; identity unconfirmed)
Possibly corundum (ruby, Al₂O₃) or spinel (MgAl₂O₄); visual identification alone cannot distinguish these from glass or synthetic stones.
Blue Goldstone
Synthetic glass with copper or cobalt/manganese inclusions
Blue-stone and diamond ring
Blue stone is possibly blue sapphire (corundum, Al₂O₃); surrounding stones appear to be diamonds (carbon, C).
Goldstone (aventurine glass)
Synthetic copper-bearing soda-lime glass; commonly sold as red goldstone
Faceted colored gemstones, likely synthetic corundum or glass imitations
Not identifiable from the image; possible synthetic corundum (Al₂O₃)
Moldavite
Tektite (Impact Glass), ~80% SiO2 + Al2O3
Goldstone (likely blue-free synthetic goldstone pendant)
Synthetic aventurine glass; silica glass with dispersed metallic copper crystals
Possible obsidian or slag glass
Volcanic glass, primarily SiO₂; alternatively industrial iron-rich glassy slag
